Israel claims to have thwarted a Hezbollah missile attack in southern Lebanon.

Israel claims to have thwarted a Hezbollah missile attack in southern Lebanon, while Lebanon's border situation remains unsustainable. The Israeli government spokesperson stated that Hezbollah had suffered a "crushing blow," but the Lebanon-Israel border remains unstable, with tens of thousands of residents evacuated from both sides. The exchange of fire between the two sides has raised hopes for talks aimed at halting fighting in Gaza and bringing Israeli and foreign hostages home.
